Re: Attack on Eindhoven airfield, 9/10 September 1940
In my opinion the so-called RAF attack was a cover-up operation for the mistake the German pilot has made.
Robert.
The bomb(s) had fallen in the far south-west side of the airfield and the plane crashed against the train on the railway track between Best and Eindhoven, north-east of the airfield, just on the south-side of the bridge over the canal.
The distance between the bombed location and the crashsite 6-7 km.
Stephen, show me the picture and maybe I can tell you if this was the site.
I live in the area and have 30 years of experience in researching the history of Eindhoven airfield during WW2.
